Touchstone1972 Posted February 6, 2014 Report Share Posted February 6, 2014 May 9–11 at Touchstone Center for Crafts Thrown, Altered, and Decorated Jennifer Allen All Levels | $200 Weekend Workshop In this weekend workshop, students will examine ways to manipulate pots both on and off the wheel by using a combination of wheel-throwing and hand-building techniques. Experimenting with darting techniques as a means to achieve out-of-round profiles will be explored. Jennifer will help you discover ways to construct spouts, handles, and other forms from a variety paper patterns, and play with bisque molds as a way to expand ideas of form. You will also learn how to compose decoration on a three-dimensional form using slip, glaze, and underglaze. Basic wheel knowledge would be helpful, but is not necessary.
